To be fair Brian, an accusation that you don't teach body is patently absurd. You can be accused of many things, but not teaching any body movements in the swing is not one of them.

Brian gave me a lesson and did absolutely NOTHING about plane, hands, whatever....all body. His first step is the body movement, it seems.

In Sydney Brian certainly worked hard to get my body moving correctly. Hard hold of my of hips and as I hit the ball he made the body work correctly and it worked. No talk of backswing as he concentrated on my real issues with the swing. The lesson was well worth the wait

The goofy idea that I don't use the body in my teaching has been "mentioned" by a few people over the years.

They have all been wrong.

The latest, comically wrong.

Brian, thanks for another great video and insight on your teaching. It is really hard to believe people say you do not teach body. Any teacher not teaching how the body moves is a JOKE!!!!

You mentioned that you fix A LOT of finishes, what do you like to see in the finish position? Also, any plans on coming to the Central Florida or Jacksonville area in the near future?

Don't know about Jacksonville area....I will let you know.

I like all the weight on the left foot, knees touching, hands away from the left ear, right shoulder closer to the target, not too much right side bend, NO CUT OFF LOOK.....

And a bunch of other little things.

Thanks Brian, I would love to get a chance to get a lesson with you and pick your brain a little bit.. I'm always looking for more knowledge to help me coach my players better.

As far as a tour pro who you love their finish position would it be a guy like Adam Scott

Brian, MJ spoke a lot about replacing the left arm. Do you consider this to be a "body" move or an arm move? Is the replacement completed BEFORE the left shoulder reaches it highest point or is it as a RESULT of the left shoulder moving up, together with the changes in spinal angles?

why dont you

Why don't you produce a NSA/NHA type video with all the new stuff that you discussed in this short video? I have tried to piece together all this stuff from all the different threads but it would be great to have 1 all encompassing instructional video. Pretty please.

Very soon.

I am just able to make demonstration speed swings (13 weeks post op- major right shoulder surgery: torn labrum, town rotator cuff, multiple bone spurs, 8 anchors!).
